Group counseling involves meeting with a small group of your peers for support, feedback, and community. Groups are facilitated by counselors trained to promote interpersonal learning. Our groups tend to have a particular focus or theme, some of which are more specific than others. Group members are encouraged to explore difficulties, intrapersonal growth, and relationship patterns. Groups often provide supportive space and moderated experiential learning. All group members agree to maintain confidentiality.
Creative Arts Support Group- Wednesday 3:30pm
My goal for creating a non-speaking/silent processing space is to provide a therapeutic space for folks who do not intuitively process emotion verbally, have stressors they do not feel safe sharing in the current political climate, speak a primary language they do not have access to for therapy in Las Cruces, or have difficulty navigating social spaces. This group will use creative arts, predominately drawing and painting, to explore emotional themes in community with others without the pressure of verbal communication. Basic art supplies will be provided; however, participants are welcome to bring their own supplies from home.
Please contact the Aggie Health and Wellness Center for additional information, including location and accessibility information.
